The data storage password protects the following operations in Unity Loader:
Transfer of project files in “Project” tab
NOTE: With introduction of the Cyber Security protection since V8.0, it is not possible to access the location
for “User Web Files” on the PLC anymore. Thus for legacy platforms “User Web Files” are no longer included
as part of the project files (*.CAR).
Furthermore, due to limitations on the platform side for Modicon M580 PLCs and Modicon Momentum PLCs
the transfer of project files (*.CAR) is not available.
NOTE: If you once entered the requested password correctly as long as you are connected to the PLC Unity
Loader normally will not query for this password again.
NOTE: While connected to the PLC with Unity Loader it might happen that the password entered in Unity
Loader before could have changed (e.g. parallel connection with Unity Pro to the same PLC). In this case,
you have to enter the new password in Unity Loader for the next operation.
NOTE: If you download a protected STU / STA to the PLC in case you do not know the associated
application password, you will have to use the Unity Pro password recovery mechanism to operate the PLC
again.
When creating an application in Unity Pro V8.0 or later for the Modicon M580 platform please enable
FTP before you build and download the application, otherwise Unity Loader will not be able to connect to
the PLC.
Cyber Security protection with application password or data storage password is not supported for
UlUmas.exe and UlFtp.exe command line interfaces in this version. Thus scripting through command line
interfaces can only be used if the PLC is not protected by password.
o Upgrading the CRA module could be done either through a connection to the service port of the
corresponding CRP using the IP address of the CRA or a connection to the service port of the CRA
module itself.
After upgrading a module with firmware, the firmware version displayed in Unity Loader is not always
refreshed immediately. Some modules show the correct version immediately, for other modules a reset
of the PLC is required.
For upgrading a firmware of a Modicon M340 PLC via an Ethernet connection, please assure that no
other Ethernet connection is established in parallel at the PC. This could disturb the Ethernet connection
of the Modicon M340 PLC during the Firmware update and could result in an unsuccessful transfer.
In case you get the message "Transfer error: Not enough free space available on target device"
during firmware download to a Modicon M340 PLC:
o The firmware download process needs free space on the memory card to store the firmware, until
the update was successful. If there is not enough free space on the memory card, this message
appears. Please free some space on the memory card by deleting files.
In case you get the message: "Warning: File .... could not be transferred. FTP server rejects file name.
One or more files have not been transferred" during firmware download to a Modicon M340 PLC:
o The firmware download process could not write the specified file to the memory card. The firmware
update process is aborted in this case, since the firmware files have to be consistent for a successful
update. This can happen, if the file to be written is read-only on the memory card. Please check the
file attributes on the memory card in this case and remove the read-only flag, if it is set.
Today it is not possible to download an application or project data to a Quantum PLC with no valid
application. If the Quantum PLC owns no valid application, like after an OS exchange, a valid application
has to be downloaded first via Unity Pro, before a communication with the Unity Loader is possible.
